Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It isn't built in to JF; they just added a framework that makes the process easier. You'll still have to use a plugin to skip intros.
Ah, ok. Very nice!
Last time I updated I had to set all my user accounts again :(
Can we give music more than one tag yet?
I really like JF.
My biggest issue with it is that subtitles appear to be messed up timing wise upon continuing playback and its impossible to reset.
But other than that, I like it a lot. Thanks JF team!
Interesting, I haven't had issues with subtitles. Lately, I haven't been getting any subtitles.
I just recently converted from kodi to jellyfin after a Nas hardware crash. I run the server in a docker container on my Nas and the client on a Nvidia shield. Works great, but there is one niggle I haven't figured out and had much better experience on kodi. Subtitles.
I can't seem to find any adjustments for the subtitles in case they don't fit the video completely. There is no menu I have found that allows for adjusting the timing of subtitles.
How are you all coping with this? I use the arr stack and get subtitles through bazarr.
How do you all handle these things?
Are you using subtitle sync in bazarr? I don't use jellyfin, but have found that bazarr has fixed most of my subtitles that were not in sync just by enabling the option. I think it's CPU intensive though, so don't do the whole library at once.
Depends on the platform you're using. Mobile you have the integrated player that doesn't support subtitle offset and the web player that does. Everything else is a version of the web player basically and they all support subtitle offset
Nvidia shield is a android device so it tracks that this is the mobile player without srt adjustment. That sucks though. Maybe I should look at kodi and jelly plugin...
If it uses he android client there should be a setting to choose which player, at least with mobilie there is.
On the client go to settings -> client settings -> video player
It might let you change it, you'll want the web player.
Oh? Very interesting! I was not aware that this was available as a setting. Thanks for the heads up
Probably a bad time to suggest the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin (since they removed the network paths in this version) but it's what I use for my main playback device.
All the goodies of playback via Kodi but play state and metadata gets synced from Jellyfin.
Another option of course would be to open the file(s) in MKVToolNix to add and correct the subtitle offset there.
Is that the native paths method they removed? I never used it and didn't understand the reason for it, but I'm guessing its useful for some users?
Yep. Kodi slows down significantly if you have a large library and play through the addon. Native paths fixed that issue by playing directly from a network share instead.
Right gotcha. My library is only a few TB so I guess it doesn't cause issues for me.
Tbh I'm waiting for Findroid to officially released its android TV client and then if it works well I might switch over from Kodi
Many major enhancements to transcoding and playback, including support for software tonemapping of HDR10, HLG and DoVi, preliminary support for DoVi Profile 10, support for Dolby AC-4 audio, more stereo downmixing algorithms, QSV device selection, and more! Our FFmpeg is also now based off the upstream FFmpeg 7.0 release for additional features and improvements there.
Does that mean no grey mess anymore when playing HDR files?
I liked Jellyfin when I tested it last year but it had 3 show stoppers for me.
- Samsung app was flakey and had to be side loaded.
- Each profile had to use a password and had a full keyboard to enter. Needs a no password option, and a pin pad option.
- Not everything played successfully.
Have any of these things been fixed?
Wtf is a Samsung app?
Samsung TVs
For the not all media played successfully, I found it was primarily down to transcode settings trying to hardware transcode file types my server can't hardware transcode. It's something worth playing with
- Not sure what you mean by that. Jellyfin has had an up to date version in the play store for years.
- Yes every Profile is separated into its own account, that's by design and will most likely never change. An easy PIN option in the local network existed for years. Now you can even login with your phone app by entering a displayed PIN.
- I remember very few media that i had issues with in the past. Depending on the transcode hardware you have some things can be tricky
I tried Jellyfin recently and for some reason it doesn't play any media at all when I disable hardware transcoding, even though my media all is 1080 h264/h265 and I don't want to scale. On Plex it always seemed like I could just play everything natively, but Jellyfin seems like it always wants to transcode.
Even if I enable transcoding, stuff won't play nicely because I'm currently on a Pi4 (going to switch in the coming weeks to a proper server), but Plex is fine.
Basically, when you do not run server side transcoding and instead rely on client side support you will run from time to time into issues. Jellyfin does not have the ppl to get every client to work with all the different formats on every hardware.
1080 h264/h265 does not say much about the media format. Those codec differentiate in things like Chroma (4:2:0; 4:4:4, etc) or in color depth like 8 or 10 bit. So not every h264 media file does run on the same hardware. Audio codecs are even more complicated.
I think since i setup my hardware transcoding I ran into a not playable file once. But depending on the hardware it can be worse. On android TV you may have to play around with the settings.
I understand that this can be a deal breaker for some ppl.
They are talking about the Samsung Tizen app for Samsung TVs.
Echoing @[email protected], I downloaded the first party app right from the Play Store on my Samsung. Though I prefer the third party, Findroid, the first party app is good for the dashboard management.
When we launch Jellyfin, we are shown icons for what user, we select the user, and it opens the associated library. Similar to Netflix.
I started using Jellyfin about two years ago now, and have only encountered a codec issue here and there, but I've found it can be worked around by setting playback to another player, like VLC.
1: The official Android app didn’t work?
That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore.
What were your problems?
2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.
3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.
Speaking to #2, I'm surprised since I always use the "sign in from another device" feature, where I punch some numbers into the app on my phone and it signs me into the tv.
That said, the tv is running the desktop app.
Not seen that option, it.might be useful. However, If I move from Plex it needs to be familiar to everyone else in the house. Retraining them is tricky.
They're probably talking about Samsung TVs, not their android phones/tablets. Installing jellyfin on those things can be a chore. My experience with LG was similar. The official build was out of date and riddled with issues that didn't exist on other versions. It refused to play videos that worked well enough on other devices, transcode or no.
Yeah tizen based TV. So no android apps.
That thought didn’t cross my mind, and you must be right.
I’d say go for a streamer of some sort as a solution. Not had many issues on the CCWGTV.
goal to remove 32-bit ARM support in 10.11.0
I'm still running jellyfin on a rPI 2, performance is not great but not too bad either. Maybe it could be an excuse to finally upgrade my hardware.
